10 Reasons Boston Is The Best City In America

Boston Logic

Boston has many claims to fame, from its rich history to our funky accents. IF you're a Bostonian, some of these will definitely strike a chord with you.

1. It's pretty wicked, and it's wicked pretty.

First and foremost, if you haven’t traveled to Boston, make sure it’s on your bucket list. No matter the season, this city is always pleasing to the eye.

2. It's one of the most historic cities in the country.

For those of you who don’t know, the city of Boston plays a big role in American history. From the 1630s to now, you can thank the city of Boston and it’s founders for making America the way it is.

3. Boston sports over everything

A lot of people hate us. That’s just because they’re jealous we have some of the best sports teams in the nation. If you get the chance, you HAVE to catch a game.

4. The food, especially on the North End

Ever been to the north end? If not, add that to your bucket list too. Mike’s Pastry offers one of the best… scratch that… THE BEST cannoli’s ever. The north end is like a mini Italy and if you’re not one for pasta, don’t worry, many famous restaurants lie on every street corner.

5. Shopping on Newbury Street

If Newbury Street doesn’t have it, then you don’t need it. Save your money because you never know what you might spend.

6. Easy public transportation

If you don’t live directly where the action is, “the T” will be sure to get you there from wherever you are.

7. The Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon is one of the most famous races in the world. Many international runners spend years training for it and it is such an honor to receive a medal from this rigorous race.

8. Beach getaways

If for some reason you want to get away from the city, beaches are everywhere! For the most part, they are no longer than a 20-minute drive. So suit up and go catch some rays

9. We have amazing hospitals.

Boston is ranked nationally for the best hospitals. If you need medical attention, you will always be in good hands

10. We pretty much have our own language.

Some hate it, some love it. But personally, I think its wicked cool.

If you’re a Masshole, embrace and love it. If not, well… I’m sorry.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
